Early Life
Matthew Vanderbloch had a sad life, even before he became a Vampire...
Birth & Childhood
When Matthew was born, his parents abandoned him. He was found by a couple who had been searching for a baby to adopt. They took him hope, and cared for him. Everything seemed to be going well. When Matt was 16 years old, his father would always come home late, yell at his wife, and sometimes smack her around. One night he followed his father to where ever he was going. He wound up at another womans house. Matt was furious, so he went home and told his mother. A few days after that, Matt turned 17, and he was on his way to the womans house to tell her to 'Move away, or else.' The woman closed the door in his face. Matt was walking home in the dark, when a Vampire jumped out of the shadows and embraced him. Matt lost consciousness until the next morning. He woke up, the sun was burning. He ran home to get out of the heat. He went into the bathroom, looked in the mirror and saw nothing. Soon he realized, that all of those tales he heard of Vampires, were very, very, real. That night, he went out searching for his father, although he knew exactly where he was, so it wasnt such a big search. When the man walked out of the womans house, Matt jumped from her rooftop, onto his father, and ripped a chunk of his neck out. Blood was everywhere, the woman had fainted, Matt could not believe what he had done, and took off.
Life with the Skulls
After Matt's incident with his father, Matt ran off, and went the only place he knew people won't give a crap about his crimes. He went to the slums on Mercy Island, where the Skulls lived. He took over an abandoned room as his house, next door to a crack dealer. The Skulls never messed with Matt, in fact, they helped him. They taught him how to fight, gamble, and how to survive on his own.
The Sabbat
Matt was not always a member of 'The Children of the Night.' Before he was with that crew, he was one of 'The Sabbat.'
Joining
Matt was just trying to enjoy his unlife as best he could, by going to the Chalet at Pocket D. When he reached the bottom of the slope, he had a strange feeling inside. He looked around, and he knew there were others, like him. He soon made conversation with them, and was taken in by Amy, the Lasombra Queen. He worked hard for The Sabbat, now that their Haven was his new home.
Leaving
There was a small probably with him being one of The Sabbat. He had a friend, Sibyll Noir, of The Children of the Night, the enemy. They would always hang out together, but the leaders of the two groups were not meant to get along. Not long after Matt met Sibyll, they started dating. Armando de la Vega and the Lasombra Queen made an agreement to let Matt switch over to The Children of the Night, with no bad blood.
The Children of the Night
Starting Out
Matt started out like everyone else does, at the bottom. However, that did not stop him from climbing up to the top. He worked hard with his new group of friends, and was soon labled a Master. He became close friends with the head Councilor, Amon del Vega. Together they ran the streets of the Rogue Isles, under the command of Armando. It wasn't long after that when Matt was labled a Councilor himself by Amon and Armando.
Councilor Vanderbloch
Matt seemed to have it all, a high paying job, a wonderful girlfriend, money, and friends. Matt was recruiting others to 'The Children' and doing all that paperwork everybody loves to do.
Dead? For good this time?
One day, an unexpected Sabbat attack unfurled on Matthew. Matt was smacked a little to hard with a shovel, and went in Torpor, for nine long months. He was buried, nobody knew where he had been, or what had happened to him. It was assumed he was just another victim in the War with The Sabbat. When Matt woke up, he dug himself out of the ground. He made his way back to the Rogue Isles, and was once again with 'The Children of the Night.'
Getting Back In The Swing
Matthew had been out of it for nine months, and needed to get back in the swing of things. His rank of Councilor was takin from him, so he did not have to be bothered with everybody's problems. Lately he has been seen working almost non stop, causing terror amongst the Isles once again. He is also back together with Sibyll Noir.
Hello Mister... ?
Living in the slums of Mercy, Matt had some street cred. He was the kid the Skulls actually helped. After Matt returned from his incident involving dirt, and nine months... Matthew was approached by a creepy looking guy, and his crew. They claimed they were rom his old neighborhood. He knew everything about Matt, and looked like he belonged there, so Matt believed him. The group wound up being a pack of Sabbat, who have been watching Matt since he was embraced. They were friends to Matt's Sire, who he found out is dead. Matt kept in contact with the Sabbat for a few weeks, just long enough for everything to go wrong. Matt wound up lying to the Sabbat, about a few Sabbat deaths in the Isles. That did not make them too happy. They started getting involved with Matt's girlfriend, Sibyll. Sibyll seemed to vanish, so Matt went looking for her. He searched for two to three weeks, all over the Rogue Isles, and Paragon City, but found nothing. When Matthew returned to the Isles, he found out she had been locked up by Armando de la Vega the whole time. The Prince found out about Matthew's dealings, and wasn't too happy. The Archon, who was in town wanted Matthew dead. Because of their friendship, and loyalty in the past, he was spared the punishment of death. Matthew had a lot on his mind with everything that's going on, and wound up breaking up with his girlfriend, Sibyll. However, Armando's punishment was still coming. Matt's tongue was cut from his mouth to pay for his so called 'crimes'...
